Public-private partnerships are increasingly advocated to
alleviate deficiencies in the public health system as well as to
reduce economic stress on those who seek services from an
expensive, burgeoning and unregulated private health sector.
Focusing on India, this book examines how the private sector in
developing countries is tapped to deliver health care services to
poor and under-served sections of society through collaborative
arrangements with the government. Having emerged as a key reform
initiative, aspects of public-private partnership are examined such
as the genesis of private sector partnerships, the ways in which
the private sector is encouraged to deliver public health services,
and the models and formats that make such partnerships
possible.
Based on in-depth case studies from different states of India
and drawing on experiences in other countries, the authors analyse
challenges, opportunities and benefits of implementing
public-private partnerships and explore whether partnership with
the private sector can be designed to deliver health care services
to the poor as well as the consequences for beneficiaries.
This book will be of interest to scholars of public policy and
development administration, health policy and development economics
as well as South Asian Studies.
